Why I Think the Next Big Blockchains Will Be Built Around AI, Not With AI on Top
The article discusses the author's vision for future blockchains being built around AI rather than integrating AI into existing systems. The author argues that successful companies will be those designed from the ground up to accommodate AI, rather than retrofitting AI onto traditional models. The proposed blockchain, NOVAI, aims to create a native account type for AI agents, allowing for improved identity, payment settlement, and governance.
- ▪The author is building an L1 blockchain called NOVAI, which is open source and consists of 104,000 lines of code.
- ▪Current major blockchains are adding AI features to existing infrastructures, which the author believes will not be competitive in the future.
- ▪NOVAI aims to treat AI agents as first-class participants with their own identities and capabilities, enhancing transaction efficiency and governance.
